Need command to restart Notepad ++
-
@dinkumoil I just want to get the most minimal code.
-
Ah, now I understand your point, you erased the
FULL_PATH_TO_YOUR\part of @Meta-Chuh 's code.Well, I would say you are lucky that it works without the full path to Npp. I guess currently Npp sets its own path as the current path when it executes the command. But I would not rely on that, maybe this behaviour changes in the future.
Over the years I got used to ALWAYS use fully qualified and quoted paths. This makes your scripts error proof and thus your life much more easy.
-
@dinkumoil I always use the portable version of Notepad ++, and try not to write full paths.
-
You can use the Npp environment variable
$(NPP_DIRECTORY). -

try
@echo off
taskkill /f /im notepad++.exe
“C:\Program Files\Notepad++\notepad++.exe”cls

I tried to get rid of it … and you offer me to return to this?

by the way:
And how is such a combination of two code variants … does it violate the laws of criminal law?
<Command name="Restart" Ctrl="no" Alt="no" Shift="no" Key="0">cmd /c taskkill /f /im notepad++.exe && start notepad++.exe</Command>lol, no, everything is legal 😉
your version is correct, mine was wrong, as it keeps the cmd window open.
i just have forgotten thestartcommand while typing, sorry 🙏 -
Just for completeness, there is also the
$(NPP_FULL_FILE_PATH)variable. -

I don’t have one, it was in response to your response about using $(NPP_DIRECTORY),
which would mean you need to concatenate directory and executable wheres $(NPP_FULL_FILE_PATH) is already the complete path.
Did I misunderstood something? -
@Ekopalypse I understood))
